Controlling Model 5110
The following items control Model 5110.
Enable
When you check this, the system starts to connect with the lock-in amplifier using the
RS232C. Since the initialization processing of the lock-in amplifier is performed during
its connection with the PC, it takes a little time before the processing completes. If the
connection cannot complete normally, an error dialog appears. In such a case, confirm
the RS232C cable connection, the power supply of the lock-in amplifier and the
communication settings.
The PC communicates with the lock-in amplifier using the communication port 1
(COM1). So you must connect the RS-232C cable with the COM1 port of the PC.
Sensitivity
This sets the signal-input sensitivity for the lock-in amplifier. The signal-input sensitivity
determines the signal amplitude that can input into the lock-in amplifier; however, if you

Ref. Phase
In order to use the detection operation of the lock-in amplifier, you must make equal the
phases of the reference signal and input signal. You use this control to adjust the phases
of both signals. By clicking on the Set button, you can set the phase of the reference
signal in the range of
